Facing the girl's clear and bright eyes with tenacity, there was a layer of darkness in his eyes.
Forgiveness makes him feel more ashamed than hatred.
His heart ached for no reason.
In the midst of despair, I seem to see a little bit of hope, just like the green shoots growing in the barren desert, making the lonely traveler who has been hungry and thirsty on the sandbank overjoyed and worried about gains and losses.
She is actually really soft-hearted and kind.
That's why she, who is straightforward, was misled by kindness in her previous life.
A person with a kind face and a kind heart is not sad, but what is sad is a person with a cold face and a kind heart.
Because her kindness will not be understood and may even be taken advantage of by someone with good intentions.
Huo Xu knew that with his ability to read minds, he could easily pry into a girl's heart by using some tricks, such as the trick of selling cruel meat.
It is too easy for me who can hear her heart to plant an anchor in her heart and hold her firmly.
Maybe given time, it wouldn't be difficult to make her fall in love with him again.
But……
Calculated love will be cursed.
He didn't want any impure competition between them to appear again.
Because once the mind-reading ability disappears, he will fall back into the quagmire and breed more terrifying paranoia and inner demons.
He didn't want her to be hurt even a little bit more...
But at the same time, he didn't want his already dirty hands to be stained with more sins.
He wanted to be clean.
Only in this way can you be worthy of her.
"Thanks."
Huo Xu stared at the girl for a long time. After thinking about everything clearly, he only said these two words.
Yu Ruanruan looked away unnaturally, "Thank you... what are you thanking me for?"
[Why doesn’t this person play his cards according to common sense every time?]
Huo Xu's thin lips curled up in a slight arc, "Thank you for disregarding the past, Ruanruan, you know? In fact, in the flour mill, it was never me who saved you, it was you who saved me."
"Ah?" Yu Ruoran blinked in confusion upon hearing this, and couldn't help but start recalling the details of that day.
But she carefully recalled the whole story, the cause and effect.
Whether it was Huo Xu who came alone to save her from being tied to a bomb, or whether he blocked the fallen wooden pile for her after the explosion.
In everything, he unilaterally rescued himself from danger.
She clearly behaved like a deranged lunatic throughout.
I even had the thought that I might as well die with him.
What did she do to save him?
Silly girl.
Listening to the girl's thoughts, Huo Xu had a helpless smile in his eyes.
That day at the flour mill, he just blocked the falling wooden stake for her, but she truly redeemed him and gave him a new lease of life.
He is now very peaceful inside and not so angry.
Even though he learned that the person behind the Lingyun Temple car accident was his father's illegitimate son, he still didn't feel too disturbed.
So, it was she who saved him.
Let him really wake up from that half-dead state.
He wanted to live seriously for once.
At this moment, the housekeeper saw that Huo Xu's symptoms were improving. He hesitated and stepped forward and said, "Master, Professor Zhan De just sent a video call."
Huo Xu's face had regained some color. Hearing this, he raised his arms.
Seeing that he wanted to get up, Yu Ruanruan immediately went up to help him.
Huo Xu was very heavy, and the close physical contact relieved the tense atmosphere between the two.
"Call the instructor back."
"yes."
The housekeeper brought the tablet and dialed back the video call.
After a while, Professor Zander's figure appeared in the video.
"Huo, are you okay?" the instructor asked with concern, "I have heard your butler tell you about your situation. How many times has the situation just now happened?"
Huo Xu looked slightly hesitant and subconsciously glanced at Yu Ruanruan beside him.
Feeling the man's hesitation, the girl's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, Huo Xu pursed his thin lips and spoke coldly, "This is the first time this symptom has appeared. The cause is unknown."
Although he deliberately added that the cause of the disease was unknown, Yu Ruanruan still subconsciously felt that the reason for his illness just now was because of himself.
She hurriedly asked Instructor Zhan De in the video in English, "Hello, are you Huo Xu's upcoming surgeon abroad?"
Zander seemed to have just realized that there was a girl in the room.
He and Huo hadn't contacted each other for several years. It was unexpected that the best, solitary and eccentric student in the past would fall in love one day.
At first, he felt that Huo, a taciturn man, was destined to devote his life to medicine.
Who would have thought that such a talented young man would eventually choose to abandon medicine and go into business.
"Hello, my lovely lady, I am exactly the attending doctor you mentioned." Zander greeted teasingly, "Do you have any questions?"
"Is this craniotomy risky? How long will it take to recover after the operation? Will there be any sequelae?"
Yu Ruanruan was not polite and asked straightforwardly.
Zander said with a smile, "Any surgery will have risks, postoperative recovery, sequelae and other issues, but the patient's physical condition, mood before surgery, and postoperative healing will all affect the size of these problems."
"You are the first girl he has taken me to see since I met Huo. You must be very important to Huo. Therefore, if you can contribute before and after the operation, you will be able to greatly reduce your pain.
Worry about these risks.”
Yu Ruanruan: "..."
[Oh no! The road in this old coat is quite deep! I just asked casually, why did you fold yourself in? 】
[However, what he said proves that Huo Xu’s success rate for this operation is quite high, so I feel relieved.]
The girl is really tough-tongued but soft-hearted.
Listening to her inner complaints, Huo Xu felt warm in his heart.
She cared about him, not just to show him, but because she couldn't help it, and she didn't even realize it.
"Zhan De, it's almost done." Huo Xu called out his mentor's name to remind him to be careful when joking.
Instructor Zhan De laughed heartily like an old naughty boy: "Someone is already feeling embarrassed, haha."
For some reason, looking at the subtle atmosphere between Zhan De and Huo Xu, Yu Ruanruan felt a little hot in her face and her ears began to feel hot for no reason.
This embarrassment did not last long.
Because Huo Xu seemed to sense her discomfort, and after a few words with Zander, he hung up the video call.
The housekeeper, who had witnessed the process from beginning to end, had an idea at this time, "Miss Yu, the bed has been made for you, and the toiletries in the room are the same as before you left. They have not changed. You are tired today, why not get ready early?"
Get some rest."
Yu Ruanruan pursed her lips and carefully observed Huo Xu's expression, "Then...do you need my care here?"
In fact, what she wants to ask is, do you need me to accompany you before the operation?
She wanted Huo Xu to be healthy and in a happy mood for the surgery, but she was afraid that her presence would only worsen his condition.
Yu Ruanruan could feel that Huo Xu was happy when she came to Qiangyuan.
But she couldn't guess what percentage of his mood was happiness.
Can she stay?
Does Huo Xu need her?
Does her staying have more benefits or more disadvantages?
